I had my surgery on Monday. I am slowly feeling better but still have alot of pain. I feel like I'm full of air when I walk and that's even more painful. The liquid diet is hard. I'm bored of just drinking.  I want real food but will stick to the diet. It's alot harder than I thought it would be.

Any diet suggestions?

hi

i also had surgery on monday, im sorry you still have lots of pain. the dr recomended yogurt, plain with no friut pieces, jello, custards,  and non fat milk, he also stated that i could have some soup as long as i drained it (light soup of course) i hope this helps

Congrats guys and welcome to the loser's bench.

Walk, sip and burp...all slowly. Each day gets better and better.

Have you tried, SF popsicles, SF fudgsicles, Light Yogurt (I love Activia), broths or pureed soups with broth to thin them out, protein shakes with skim milk, sf pudding, sf jello...these are just some of the liquids I incorporated early on.

Good luck.
